Haringey is full of truly beautiful parks, from the enormous Finsbury Park, complete to boating lake, to the small but
perfectly formed Stationers Park, to the lovely Bruce Castle Park, and the hugely popular Pavilion at Albert Road, where the
brilliantly run cafe is a focal point.
All of these parks have tennis courts, and most of the courts are free. Even where they are charged for, the price is
very modest. In all, there are 41 puiblic courts you can play on of which all but 12 are free. They are at the following locations:
Bruce Castle Park Lordship Lane, N17 (Bus 149, 259, 279, 318, 349, W3; Train White Hart Lane, Bruce Grove ).
Seven courts in beautiful parkland. They could, however, do with re-surfacing, and the bounce may not be very true.

Two courts; free
Downhills Park, Downhills Park Road, N17(Bus 67, 230, 341, W4; Tube Turnpike Lane)
